“The secret castle, the urban oasis, the multimedia fun palace - the bed.There she lies, a critic alone in pyjamas, watching late-night television, dissecting the fantasies of sexual freedom while the world outside continues its endless pursuit of pleasure.”
A Room Of His Own is a perverted comedy of manners about the world of pornography, power, and sexual politics. Its protagonist is Andrea Dworkin, the radical feminist of the 1970s, famous for her tireless attacks on the porn industry. Following a sleepless Dworkin during a night of decadence, the production interrogates the post-war dream of sexual freedom - its promises, its contradictions, its lasting grip on society. A testament to a voice who questioned the sexual fantasies that we consume.
A Room of His Own in the press
“As blunt and explicit as its subject matter is, the performance is just as clever and suggestive in its form.”
- De Standaard
“What makes her approach so compelling, more rhetorical than in her hit Up your ass with Lieselot Siddiki, is the sensual visual language that accompanies it. It remains strikingly suggestive, with a touch of vintage.”
- De Standaard
“Gallagher really manages to stir something up here, and thanks to the show’s imaginative form, does so in a way that is quite digestible.”
- PZAZZ
“Thankfully, there are performances like A Room of His Own that dare to shed light, with humour and verve, on what usually remains in the dark.”
